Agree, but lets not turn this into a Doughty bashing thread. I really do appreciate what he had done for our school he is a stand up guy! Lets keep this just about the future and hiring. Quote
wizdiz Posted January 8, 2018 Report Posted January 8, 2018 Any Talk on who is a good fit on short notice? Quote

rykerx144 Posted January 8, 2018 Author Report Posted January 8, 2018 I know, sorry. That was more thinking outloud rather than accusing you. Sorry Quote

WOSgrad Posted January 8, 2018 Report Posted January 8, 2018 Dr. Wallis tweeted this message: Coach Todd Doughty This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up FB/AD did resign today. He will continue to oversee athletics & off season until a suitable replacement is named. We wish this great man and his family the best Quote
rykerx144 Posted January 10, 2018 Author Report Posted January 10, 2018 Looking through list that applied in April and thinking of who might still apply. I hope Prouse applies again. Pinkards at ME, and curious if Stricklan would apply again. There more I hear on Stricklan the less his stock drops. Not very good reviews from some folks it seems he has worked with in the past.

rykerx144 Posted January 10, 2018 Author Report Posted January 10, 2018 Ferguson that was AD at Shelbyville during their runs a few years ago did not apply last time but will apply this round. Quote

He did not even apply last time and I have heard nothing from him or anyone close to him act like he is interested. Quote

It’s not like Nick Saban or Kirby Smart are knocking down the door to apply , I’m sure the list will be bare minimum Quote

Unless a Barbay decides to throw his name in the running, then that's a no brainer. PlayActionPass 1 Quote

Im going to wa it till I see who all applies before I give my unneeded unwanted opinion of who I think is best lol Quote
Speedkills Posted January 13, 2018 Report Posted January 13, 2018 Hopefully Richard Strickland and Brandon Houston apply again. Quote
scoopno1 Posted January 13, 2018 Report Posted January 13, 2018 I hope everything works out for Kirbyville. I have attended their games off and on for the past 12 years. To me they don't have the athletes that they had in the past. I always thought that good coaches seem to have good athletes but that is not always the case. There is an old saying something about sometimes it is not the X's and the O's but it is who has the Jimmies and the Joes. I had a good relationship with Jack Alvarez, and Greg Neece and also thought Couch Doughty was an all right guy. I wish him the best in the future. Quote

Posting is up until the 28th so I doubt there will be anything new until then. I understand as of last friday there was about 50 applied. There is a board meeting on the 22nd. We might can learn something more official then about the process they plan to use. Quote
